Daring Bakers June 2013: Strawberry Preserve Crostata

The June 2013 Daring Bakers Challenge was to make a delicious pie - four kinds of pies were offered up by Rachael from pizzarossa. I chose to make a fairly straightforward Jam Tart or Crostata di Marmellatta. I began with making an egg free Pasta Frolla or Basic Italian Pie Pastry. For the filling I used some fresh home made strawberry preserve delicately flavoured with Italian Lime Juice!!

The pie came out beautiful as well as yummy!! I have not made a jam tart in ages and it felt like a childhood treat to enjoy it once again. This pie taste best when eaten cold with a cup of tea. You could also enjoy it for dessert with a huge dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.
